@tigranvartanovitch That's not "iron Tigran." This is another guy.

[tigranvartanovitch]

@GreasemonkeyCGI That's right "Iron Tigran" was the late Tigran Vartanovitch Petrosian. I'm another guy, too.

omg you people are idiots. There are two Tigran Petrosians. Theirs Tigran Vartanovich Petrosian, and he died a long time ago. And theres this Tigran Petrosian.

[WhiteSox777]

This is not tigran petrosian, tigran petrosian died a while ago. Plus this guy looks about 30, tigran was wayyyyyy older

[Mosquitox216]

@WhiteSox777 This is Tigran L. Petrosian. Some dude whose last name was Petrosian and was from Armenia said "If Tigran Petrosian (also an Armenian) wins the World Chess Championship, I'm naming my son after him." Sure enough, the older Tigran Petrosian won the World Chess Championship, so that man named his son after older Tigran.

[MrZingnigga]

what a misleading name.

[Commonsense11111]

Tigran L. Petrosian (Armenian: Տիգրան Պետրոսյան; born September 17, 1984) is an Armenian chess player who holds the title of grandmaster (2002). His first name was deliberately chosen by his father to match the name of the former world champion Tigran V. Petrosian who was also of Armenian descent. It happened that, when the late Tigran won the world title, Tigran's father dreamt that if he ever had a son he would call him Tigran.[2]

Petrosian learned chess at the age of five.
